Title: Method for the control of a weft thread delivery device in yarn processing system and yarn processing system
Inventor: COVELLI MARCO
IPC: D03D47/36
Filed: 2001-04-09
Abstract: A yarn processing system includes a weft yarn feeding device with a control unit and a power loom which consumes weft yarn. In operation, a run-signal is generated by the power loom that initializes the start-up of the weaving operation. A start-signal that is derived from the run-signal is transmitted to the feeding device. The start-signal is generated externally of the feeding device. The drive motor of the feeding device is driven at a predetermined speed, after receiving the external start-signal in order to prevent an undesired reduction of the size of a yarn store by the initial consumption demand of the start-up of the weaving operation of the power loom. A signal transmitting connection is provided in the yarn processing system between the power loom and a control unit of the feeding device for transmitting the start-signal. On start-up of the power loom, the drive motor of the feeding device is operated at a predetermined speed by the control device independent from the size of the yarn store in the feeding device.

Title: A method for killing cells without cell lysis
Inventor: LAWLIS VIRGIL B
IPC: C12N1/00
Filed: 1990-06-13
Abstract: This invention provides a method for killing fungal cells without lysing in fermentation processes in order to prepare the fermentation mixture for processing to recover or extract an extracellularly expressed enzyme from the fermentation mixture. A preferred method of this invention comprises adjusting the pH of the fermentation mixture to less than 2.79 using a mineral acid, then adding sufficient acetic acid to the mixture to affect a substantially complete cell kill in mixture. A salt of the acetic acid can be used. The organic acid or salt can be added, then the pH adjusted to the desired level. Other organic acids can be used, in which case the pH of the mixture is adjusted to the pKa of the selected organic acid before the organic acid is added to the mixture. The method of this invention is useful for stopping the growth and killing the cells in any micro-organism, culture or fermentation such as those containing yeast, bacteria or fungi and is particularly useful in systems where it is desired to kill the cells without lysing them.

Title: An in vivo library-versus-library selection of optimized protein-protein interactions
Inventor: MICHNICK STEPHEN W
IPC: C12N15/09
Filed: 2000-06-26
Abstract: The present invention describes a rapid and efficient <i>in vivo</i> library-<i>versus</i>-library screening strategy for identifying optimally interacting pairs of heterodimerizing polypeptides. It allows for the screening of a protein library against a second protein library, rather than against a single bait protein, and thus has numerous applications in the study of protein-protein interactions. Additionally, it allows for the application of different selection stringencies. Two leucine zipper libraries, semi-randomized at the positions adjacent to the hydrophobic core, were genetically fused to either one of two designed fragments of the enzyme murine dihydrofolate reductase (mDHFR), and cotransformed into <i>E. coli.</i> Interaction between the library polypeptides was required for reconstitution of the enzymatic activity of mDHFR, allowing bacterial growth. Analysis of the resulting colonies revealed important biases in the zipper sequences relative to the original libraries, which are consistent with selection for stable, heterodimerizing pairs. Using more weakly associating mDHFR fragments, we increased the stringency of selection. We enriched the best performing leucine zipper pairs by multiple passaging of the pooled, selected colonies in liquid culture, as the best pairs allowed for better bacterial propagation. This competitive growth allowed small differences among the pairs to be amplified, and different sequence positions were enriched at different rates. We applied these selection processes to a library-<i>versus</i>-library sample of 2.0 x 10<6> combinations, and selected a novel leucine zipper pair which may be appropriate for use in further <i>in vivo</i> heterodimerization strategies.

Title: Method for forming lightweight aggregate from flyash and sewage sludge
Inventor: HEIAN GLENN A
IPC: F27B7/00
Filed: 2000-08-21
Abstract: A method for producing a lightweight aggregate by treating flyash and sewage sludge. The flyash and sewage sludge are mixed together and agglomerated into pellets. The pelletized agglomerate is fed into a rotary kiln in a direction that is co-current with the flow of fuel and air through the kiln. The rotary kiln includes at least one port air zone near the infeed end of the rotary kiln to introduce port air beneath the bed of pelletized agglomerate feed stock flowing through the rotary kiln. The introduction of port air beneath the material bed causes the volatized combustible matter to burn in the bed of material, which oxidizes the outer shell of the pelletized agglomerate. As the pelletized agglomerate continues to travel through the rotary kiln, bloating occurs within the interior of the material and results in the formation of the lightweight aggregate material.
